as to some of the points which will be en-
plOyed by the government counsel to combat
Prof. Bells claim, touching the invention Of
this telephone. The Evening Journal in out
lining the evidence says:
There is in the city today an aged Italian,
Antonio Meucei, who with counsel has come
west in the telephone interest which he rep
resents. Meucci was seen by q Journal rep

tails of his case which, while limited at, have

very little English and c0nversed during the
interview in Italian, through an interpreter
In his possession are certified papers from
the Patent Office at Washington, D. o.. and
an abundance Of atiidayits and testimony
dating from 1872.

connected with a copper plate, which the
Italian caused to be put into his mouth. Both
men were in different rooms and the shock
